i love steamed broccoli as well! just a little bit of salt and butter is enough for me, though, i don't need to slather it in anything. i actually really like these bags that you get in the frozen food section that allows you to steam the broccoli in the microwave. awesome! when i do that, i don't even need butter or salt. and if i have any leftovers, i feed them to my parrot because he loves fresh veggies!
